Safety information

EMU33622

Outboard motor safety

Observe these precautions at all times.

EMU36500

Propeller

People can be injured or killed if they come

in contact with the propeller. The propeller

can keep moving even when the motor is in

neutral, and sharp edges of the propeller can

cut even when stationary.

●

Shut off the engine when a person is in the

water near you.

●

Keep people out of reach of the propeller,

even when the engine is off.

EMU33630

Rotating parts

Hands, feet, hair, jewelry, clothing, PFD

straps, etc. can become entangled with inter-

nal rotating parts of the engine, resulting in

serious injury or death.

Keep the top cowling in place whenever pos-

sible. Do not remove or replace the cowling

with the engine running.

Only operate the engine with the cowling re-

moved according to the specific instructions

in the manual. Keep hands, feet, hair, jewel-

ry, clothing, PFD straps, etc. away from any

exposed moving parts.

EMU33640

Hot parts

During and after operation, engine parts are

hot enough to cause burns. Avoid touching

any parts under the top cowling until the en-

gine has cooled.

EMU33650

Electric shock

Do not touch any electrical parts while start-

ing or operating the engine. They can cause

shock or electrocution.

EMU33660

Power trim and tilt

Body parts can be crushed between the mo-

tor and the clamp bracket when the motor is

trimmed or tilted. Keep body parts out of this

area at all times. Be sure no one is in this

area before operating the power trim and tilt

mechanism.

The power trim and tilt switches operate

even when the main switch is off. Keep peo-

ple be away from the switches whenever

working around the motor.

Never get under the lower unit while it is tilt-

ed, even when the tilt support lever is locked.

Severe injury could occur if the outboard mo-

tor accidentally falls.

EMU33671

Engine shut-off cord (lanyard)

Attach the engine shut-off cord so that the

engine stops if the operator falls overboard

or leaves the helm. This prevents the boat

from running away under power and leaving

people stranded, or running over people or

objects.

Always attach the engine shut-off cord to a

secure place on your clothing or your arm or

leg while operating. Do not remove it to leave

the helm while the boat is moving. Do not at-

tach the cord to clothing that could tear

loose, or route the cord where it could be-

come entangled, preventing it from function-

ing.

Do not route the cord where it is likely to be

accidentally pulled out. If the cord is pulled

during operation, the engine will shut off and

you will lose most steering control. The boat

could slow rapidly, throwing people and ob-

jects forward.

EMU33810

Gasoline

Gasoline and its vapors are highly flam-

mable and explosive.

Always, refuel ac-

cording to the procedure on page 43 to

reduce the risk of fire and explosion.

Safety information

2

EMU33820

Gasoline exposure and spills

Take care not to spill gasoline. If gasoline

spills, wipe it up immediately with dry rags.

Dispose of rags properly.

If any gasoline spills onto your skin, immedi-

ately wash with soap and water. Change

clothing if gasoline spills on it.

If you swallow gasoline, inhale a lot of gaso-

line vapor, or get gasoline in your eyes, get

immediate medical attention. Never siphon

fuel by mouth.

EMU33900

Carbon monoxide

This product emits exhaust gases which

contain carbon monoxide, a colorless, odor-

less gas which may cause brain damage or

death when inhaled. Symptoms include nau-

sea, dizziness, and drowsiness. Keep cock-

pit and cabin areas well ventilated. Avoid

blocking exhaust outlets.

EMU33780

Modifications

Do not attempt to modify this outboard mo-

tor. Modifications to your outboard motor

may reduce safety and reliability, and render

the outboard unsafe or illegal to use.

EMU33740

Boating safety

This section includes a few of the many im-

portant safety precautions that you should

follow when boating.

EMU33710

Alcohol and drugs

Never operate after drinking alcohol or tak-

ing drugs. Intoxication is one of the most

common factors contributing to boating fatal-

ities.

EMU33720

Personal flotation devices

Have an approved personal flotation device

(PFD) on board for every occupant. Yamaha

recommends that you must wear a PFD

whenever boating. At a minimum, children

and non-swimmers should always wear

PFDs, and everyone should wear PFDs

when there are potentially hazardous boat-

ing conditions.

EMU33730

People in the water

Always watch carefully for people in the wa-

ter, such as swimmers, skiers, or divers,

whenever the engine is running. When

someone is in the water near the boat, shift

into neutral and shut off the motor.

Stay away from swimming areas. Swimmers

can be hard to see.

The propeller can keep moving even when

the motor is in neutral. Shut off the engine

when a person is in the water near you.

EMU33750

Passengers

Consult your boat manufacturer’s instruc-

tions for details about appropriate passenger

locations in your boat and be sure all pas-

sengers are positioned properly before ac-

celerating and when operating above an idle

speed. Standing or sitting in non-designated

locations may result in being thrown either

overboard or within the boat due to waves,

wakes, or sudden changes in speed or direc-

tion. Even when people are positioned prop-

erly, alert your passengers if you must make

any unusual maneuver. Always avoid jump-

ing waves or wakes.

EMU33760

Overloading

Do not overload the boat. Consult the boat

capacity plate or boat manufacturer for max-

imum weight and number of passengers. Be

sure that weight is properly distributed ac-

cording to the boat manufacturers instruc-

tions. Overloading or incorrect weight

distribution can compromise the boats han-

dling and lead to an accident, capsizing or

swamping.

EMU33771

Avoid collisions

Scan constantly

for people, objects, and

other boats. Be alert for conditions that limit

your visibility or block your vision of others.

Operate defensively

at safe speeds and

keep a safe distance away from people, ob-

jects, and other boats.

●

Do not follow directly behind other boats or

waterskiers.

●

Avoid sharp turns or other maneuvers that

make it hard for others to avoid you or un-

derstand where you are going.

●

Avoid areas with submerged objects or

shallow water.

●

Ride within your limits and avoid aggres-

sive maneuvers to reduce the risk of loss

of control, ejection, and collision.

●

Take early action

to avoid collisions. Re-

member,

boats do not have brakes

, and

stopping the engine or reducing throttle

can reduce the ability to steer. If you are

not sure that you can stop in time before

hitting an obstacle, apply throttle and turn

in another direction.

EMU33790

Weather

Stay informed about the weather. Check

weather forecasts before boating. Avoid

boating in hazardous weather.

EMU33800

Accident reporting

Boat operators are required by law to file a

Boating Accident Report with their state

boating law enforcement agency if their boat

is involved in any of the following accidents:

1. There is loss of life or probable loss of

life.

2. There is personal injury that requires

medical attention beyond first aid.

3. There is property damage to boats or

other property over a certain amount.

4. There is complete loss of a boat.

Contact local law enforcement personnel if a

report is necessary.

EMU33870

Boat education and training

Operators should take a boating safety

course. This may be required in your state.

Many of the organizations listed in the next

section can provide information about cours-

es in your area.

You may also want to consider an Internet-

based program for basic boater education.

The Online Boating Safety Course provided

by the BoatU.S. Foundation, is approved by

the National Association of State Boating

Law Administrators (NASBLA) and recog-

nized by the United States Coast Guard.

Most, but not all, states accept this course to

meet their minimum requirements. While it

cannot replace an in-depth course such as

one offered by the U.S. Coast Guard, U.S.

Power Squadron, or other organization, this

online course does provide a general over-

view of the basics in boating safety, require-

ments, navigation, and operation. Upon

successful completion of the course, the

user can download a certificate of comple-

tion immediately or, for a small charge, re-

quest one by mail. To take this free course,

EMU33880

Passenger training

Make sure at least one other passenger is

trained to operate the boat in the event of an

emergency.

EMU33890

Boating safety publications

Be informed about boating safety. Additional

publications and information can be obtained

from many boating organizations.

EMU33590

Laws and regulations

Know the marine laws and regulations where

you will be boating- and obey them. Several

sets of rules prevail according to geographic

location, but all are basically the same as the

International Rules of the Road. The rules

presented in the following section are con-

densed- and have been provided for your

convenience only.

Contact the U.S. Coast Guard, the National

Association of State Boating Law Adminis-

trators, or your local Power Squadron for a

complete set of rules governing the waters in

which you will be using your boat.

Basic boating rules (Rules of

the road)

Just as there are rules that apply when you

are driving on streets and highways, there

are waterway rules that apply when you are

driving your boat. These rules are used inter-

nationally. (For USA: and are also enforced

by the United States Coast Guard and local

agencies.) You should be aware of these

rules, and follow them whenever you en-

counter another vessel on the water.

Safety information

5

EMU33700

Steering and sailing rules and sound

signals

Whenever two vessels on the water meet

one another, one vessel has the right-of-

way; it is called the “stand-on” vessel. The

vessel that does not have the right-of-way is

called the “give-way” or “burdened”vessel.

These rules determine which vessel has the

right-of-way, and what each vessel should

do.

Stand-on vessel

The vessel with the right-of-way has the duty

to continue its course and speed, except to

avoid an immediate collision. When you

maintain your direction and speed, the other

vessel will be able to determine how best to

avoid you.

Give-way vessel

The vessel that does not have the right-of-

way has the duty to take positive and timely

action to stay out of the way of the Stand-On

vessel. Normally, you should not cross in

front of the vessel with the right-of-way. You

should slow down or change directions brief-

ly and pass behind the other vessel. You

should always move in such a way that the

operator of the other vessel can see what

you are doing.

“ The general prudential rule ”

This rule is called Rule 2 in the International

Rules and says,

“ In obeying and construing these rules due

regard shall be had to all dangers of naviga-

tion and collision, and to any special circum-

stances, which may render a departure from

the above rules necessary in order to avoid

immediate danger.”

In other words, follow the standard rules ex-

cept when a collision will occur unless both

vessels try to avoid each other. If that is the

case, both vessels become “ Give-Way ”

vessels.

EMU25521

Rules when encountering vessels

There are three main situations that you may

encounter with other vessels which could

lead to a collision unless the Steering Rules

are followed:

Meeting:

(you are approaching another ves-

sel head-on)

Crossing:

(you are traveling across the oth-

er vessel’s path)

Overtaking:

(you are passing or being

passed by another vessel)

In the following illustration, your boat is in the

center. You should give the right-of-way to

any vessels shown in white area (you are the

Give-Way vessel). Any vessels in the shad-

ed area must yield to you (they are the Give-

Way vessels). Both you and the meeting

vessel must alter course to avoid each other.

Meeting

If you are meeting another power vessel

head on, and are close enough to run the risk

of collision, neither of you has the right-of-

way Both of you should alter course to avoid

an accident. You should keep the other ves-

sel on your port (left) side. This rule doesn’t

apply if both of you will clear one another if

you continue on your set course and speed.

Safety information

6

Crossing

When two power driven vessels are crossing

each other’s path close enough to run the

risk of collision, the vessel which has the oth-

er on the starboard (right) side must keep out

of the way of the other. If the other vessel is

on your right, you must keep out of its way;

you are the Give-Way vessel. If the other

vessel is on your port (left) side, remember

that you should maintain course and direc-

tion, provided the other vessel gives you the

right-of-way as it should.

Overtaking

If you are passing another vessel, you are

the “Give-Way” vessel. This means that the

other vessel is expected to maintain its

course and speed. You must stay out of its

way until you are clear of it. Likewise, if an-

other vessel is passing you, you should

maintain your speed and direction so that the

other vessel can steer itself around you.

EMU25531

Other special situations

There are three other rules you should be

aware of when driving your boat around oth-

er vessels.

Narrow channels and bends

When navigating in narrow channels, you

should keep to the right when it is safe and

practical to do so. If the operator of a power-

driven vessel is preparing to go around a

bend that may obstruct the view of other wa-

ter vessels, the operator should sound a pro-

longed blast on the whistle (4 to 6 seconds).

If another vessel is around the bend, it too

should sound the whistle. Even if no reply is

heard, however, the vessel should still pro-

ceed around the bend with caution. If you

navigate such waters with your boat, you will

need to carry a portable air horn, available

from local marine supply stores.

Fishing vessel right-of-way

All vessels that are fishing with nets, lines or

trawls are considered to be “fishing vessels”

under the International Rules. Vessels with

trolling lines are not considered fishing ves-

sels. Fishing vessels have the right-of-way

regardless of position. Fishing vessels can-

not, however, impede the passage of other

vessels in narrow channels.

Sailing vessel right-of-way

Sailing vessels should normally be given the

right-of-way. The exceptions to this are:

1. When the sailing vessel is overtaking

the power-driven vessel, the power-driv-

en vessel has the right-of-way.

2. Sailing vessels should keep clear of any

fishing vessel.

3. In a narrow channel, a sailing vessel

should not hamper the safe passage of

a power-driven vessel that can navigate

only in such a channel.

Safety information

Reading buoys and other markers

The waters of the United States are marked

for safe navigation by the lateral system of

buoyage. Simply put, buoys and markers

have an arrangement of shapes, colors,

numbers and lights to show which side of the

buoy a boater should pass on when navigat-

ing in a particular direction. The markings on

these buoys are oriented from the perspec-

tive of being entered from seaward (the boat-

er is going towards the port). This means that

red buoys are passed on the starboard

(right) side when proceeding from open wa-

ter into port, and black buoys are to port (left)

side. When navigating out of port, your posi-

tion with respect to the buoys should be re-

versed; red buoys should be to port and

black buoys to starboard.

Many bodies of water used by boaters are

entirely within the boundaries of a particular

state. The Uniform State Waterway Marking

System has been devised for these waters.

This system uses buoys and signs with dis-

tinctive shapes and colors to show regulato-

ry or advisory information. These markers

are white with black letters and orange

boarders. They signify speed zones, restrict-

ed areas, danger areas, and general infor-

mation.

Remember, markings may vary by geo-

graphic location. Always consult local boat-

ing authorities before driving your boat in

unfamiliar waters.

Boat horsepower rating

WARNING

EWM01560

Overpowering a boat can cause severe

instability.

Before installing the outboard motor(s), con-

firm that the total horsepower of your mo-

tor(s) does not exceed the boats maximum

horsepower rating. See the boat’s capacity

Mounting motor

WARNING

EWM01570

●

Improper mounting of the outboard mo-

tor could result in hazardous condi-

tions such as poor handling, loss of

control, or fire hazards.

●

Because the motor is very heavy, spe-

cial equipment and training is required

to mount it safely.

Your dealer or other person experienced in

proper rigging should mount the motor using

correct equipment and complete rigging in-

structions. For further information, see page

WARNING

EWM01580

●

If the engine starts in gear, the boat can

move suddenly and unexpectedly, pos-

sibly causing a collision or throwing

start-in-gear protection device is not

working correctly and you should dis-

continue using the outboard. Contact

your Yamaha dealer.

The remote control unit must be equipped

with a start-in-gear protection device(s). This

device prevents the engine from starting un-

less it is in neutral.
